WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 17 October 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:06.880 From the Skyinging Center. This is Paul Murray Live. Thank you, Charon, 0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:08.879 and let me be clear, I am of course going 0:00:08.880 --> 0:00:10.360 to talk about that interview, but I won't go out 0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:11.840 to the top. There's lots of other things to get to, 0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:14.960 including tonight's no silks, no left He's glad you are here. 0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:18.599 Speaking of that interview, we'll brought apart in a moment 0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:21.239 or two time, including something that may will explain why 0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:23.279 everything was a little bit cranky on both sides of 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:25.840 that interview. We'll get to that in a second. Some 0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:30.080 strange bedfellows are joining us under the dinner as we 0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:32.760 try to fight the plan of this government to censor 0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:36.239 the Internet. And my favorite lady in the world of 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:39.040 my favorite sports supercars, the beautiful Betty Clemenco. 0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:39.279 There. 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:41.720 It is the second Peter Brook Trophy behind it. We'll 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:44.639 have a chat about our Go Chico Go and her 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:49.320 and a team one Baptist on the weekend. But first 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:52.040 we've got some problems to the top end of the 0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:54.200 labor party. At the moment we know the Prime Minister 0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:57.960 is well obviously tone deaf when it comes to splashing 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:00.640 out on the four million dollar joint. When any people 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:02.760 are not able to hold onto their own homes, let 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:06.240 alone find a love little joint for when eventually it's 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:08.520 time to move on. But I also want to talk 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:10.759 about the Deputy Prime Minister. This is a story which 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:14.039 has sort of come and gone. It crested while I 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:15.360 was away for a couple of days. But I want 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:16.720 to get back to this for a second, and it's 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:18.800 for once, not a story about him jumping on and 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:23.160 off private military jets to the great tune of millions 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:28.680 of dollars. Richard Males's former chief of staff has now 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:34.600 started a series of proceedings against the employer of people 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:38.760 inside the Parliament. She was his chief of staff and 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:41.440 credit to the Guardian, who you wouldn't think would be 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.800 the ones that would be leading the charge, but they did, 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.880 with the exclusive story of her time in and around 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.160 the Deputy Prime Minister's office. Now I don't know what happened, 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:51.000 but here's what she says happened. 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:54.480 I know it won't be long now before I am 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:59.280 bullied out of this place completely. The events of the 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:03.400 last five months have been devastating. Cut from my job 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:05.760 and ostracized without warning. 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.400 Now there's a reason I'm bringing this up tonight again 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.160 to the nexus of things about what she did or 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:16.240 didn't apparently tell her boss, the still Deputy Prime Minister, 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:17.639 Richard Marts. 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.160 During the flight home from an official trip to Ukraine 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:25.480 and late April, I raised concerns privately with the Deputy 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:29.480 Prime Minister about some bullying behavior within the office. He 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:33.000 acknowledged the concerns, restated the value he placed in me 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.640 and my work, and said we should have a chat 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:41.359 about it. However, when we returned to Australia, he called 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.800 me and in direct response to the concerns I had raised, 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:47.360 he made it clear that I should start looking for 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:49.160 alternative employment. 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:53.520 And finally, why she is thinking about seeking that alternative employment. 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.440 What I want is for people to know the truth 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:00.440 and for Richard Miles, as well as those who have 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:04.000 enabled his behavior, to be held accountable for what has happened. 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:07.160 Now again, I don't know what happens behind closed doors. 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.320 We've been here before when it comes to Canbra. Those 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:11.359 are her claims, and I wanted to let you see 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:14.080 what she had to say. But I want you to 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:17.640 imagine that that was about a week ago, that if 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:22.360 the Deputy Prime Minister was Barnaby Joyce not Labour's Richard Martz, 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.400 would there have been the long stretches of silence like 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:31.360 there have been this week around this story. Now we 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:34.960 know in previous matters, when the entire press gallery wants 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.280 to they get Cambra Colombo and who knew what? And when? 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.320 And on which day? And what here? And here's the 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.880 photo here? And who checked in here? And what time 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:43.680 do they walk in and out of this? You know 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.720 what they can do. You know that it can become 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:50.400 a total obsession from the shallow end of the pond 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.960 all the way through to the supposedly award winning classy 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.640 journalists who we know have done plenty of reporting in 0:03:56.680 --> 0:04:00.720 and around the Canberra bubble, but no a ten really 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:04.040 to follow up on what's happening in this situation? Does 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.400 this government have a problem with the way that it 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:11.640 is treating its staff now? So much so and so 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.960 confident is the government that they will not receive the 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:19.680 same treatment as a Liberal or National Party minister would 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:24.120 receive that. Richard Marles was up on television this morning 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:28.320 doing his regular roundabouts on all of the different breakfast shows, 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.880 and full credit to Peter Stefanovic when it was his 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:35.000 turn to talk to to the Deputy Prime Minister. He 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:38.839 decided to ask him about this story. The story that, 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.840 as I say, if it was about Barnaby Joyce when 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.120 he was the deputy Prime Minister, it would be all day, 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:47.599 every day, every paper, every headline, every six pm us 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:53.679 every single day, with all the different calls for investigations, resignations, 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.760 questions to be answered, standing down while things are being investigated. 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:02.279 But as I say to Peter stevean Ovik this morning, 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:03.919 because he went straight. 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:03.880 In the. 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.560 Minister, have you reached out to your former chief of 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:12.279 staff since she made claims about treatment in your office. 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:15.640 Look, Peter, excuse me. 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:19.560 I spoke about this in the Parliament last week. 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.440 You know, obviously this is a matter which. 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:26.760 Is of great sadness to me that we are in 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.200 the circumstances that we're in, and I said that in 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:32.600 the Parliament last week. But this now really is in 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.680 the hands of lawyers, and so I'm very limited in 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:36.520 what I can say. 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:38.359 Pete wasn't going to take that. 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.200 Okay, that's fine, I accept all of that. I'm just 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:45.400 asking if you've reached out to her and asked if 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:46.160 she was okay. 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.680 Well, again, I'm not going to. I'm not going to. 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:51.400 I'm not really in a. 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.520 Position to go into any about it. 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:56.760 As I said, you know, last week. 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:58.960 I jove out to it and pick up a phone caller. 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:01.520 A long time has worked with me over long period, 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:02.960 and she. 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:07.359 Is a wonderful person and I'm very grateful for the 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:08.600 service that she's comparted. 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:10.039 I haven't picked up the phone to call us. 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.039 This matter of really now is in the hands of lawyers. 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.279 But will Pete, this matter really is in the hands 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.920 of lawyers, and by virtual of that, I'm very limited 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:19.000 in what I can't say. 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:21.680 Weld On Pete. It's why we love him, It's why 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:23.520 you should watch him each and every day along with 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.000 all of our other guys and girls here. They don't 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.560 muck around. Right, Well done, Well done to all of them. 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.960 But again I repeat, this story is now a week old, 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.560 so therefore I talked about it last week. Nothing to 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.280 see here, move on again. Does it not tell you 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:42.360 about the inherent bias that exists when when the media 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.320 wants to, they will go to the ends of the 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:49.600 earth to interview any and every person possible. If they 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:53.159 can move the ball one millimeter compared to the other 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.919 person who's doing the same thing to try to push 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.760 the story forward. I keep calling them the Canberra Columbos, 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.240 trying to look under every rock and find something that's 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.359 going on here. We've seen this in multiple times in 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:11.080 multiple ways under the previous government, but why not in 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:13.760 around this situation now? Again, I don't know what happened, 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.200 all right. I don't know what this person was or 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:18.880 wasn't like. I don't know what Miles is like behind 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:23.480 I don't know, okay, and I'm not suggesting anything other 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:25.400 than what I have presented to you this evening as 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:29.600 what is publicly available. My comment is if the Deputy 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.559 Prime Minister wasn't Richard Miles and it was Barnaby Joyce, 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:37.559 would there have been a week's silence in and around 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:42.080 this story. Now we know that the opposition leader, formerly 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:45.640 now Prime Minister, made it very clear that he wanted 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:49.080 to talk about the working environment, particularly for women, in 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:52.720 and around Parliament. Quite famously he said this in and 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.800 around all the matters to do at the height of 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:57.680 the Morrison administration. 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:02.239 We cannot ask the people we represent to make change 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:07.000 without also making real and lasting change in this very building. 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.960 We must, to put it simply, work the talk. 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.480 The Prime Minister has made multiple media appearances since this 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.280 story appeared in the past week. Why not relentless questioning 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.480 of him, because the promise that he made in twenty 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:26.680 twenty two has clearly fallen apart throughout the government of 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:30.480 twenty two twenty three are now into twenty twenty four 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.600 and moving away from the Richard Marle situation. There is 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:38.240 of course some form that was out and about at 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:40.120 the same time as everyone else wanted to talk about 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:43.560 the Liberal Party's problem with female staffers, the great need 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:45.920 to change everything, because it was only one sign of 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:51.400 politics that had a problem. Remember more than fifty labor 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:53.920 staffers who at the time were out and about on 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:59.160 Facebook talking about their experiences with politicians current and former, 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.800 some who may well be in the cabinet, the ministry, 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:05.920 backbenches or people who served in all of those roles 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.680 in years gone by. A reminder, the Prime Minister says, 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.360 we must walk the talk. Well, clearly something's gone wrong 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:15.800 when it comes to somebody pretty significant and senior, a 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.520 chief of staff at the Deputy Prime Minister's office. Again, 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:21.280 what I'm about to read you is not connected to 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.200 anything to do with Richard Marles, and we'll be very 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:26.360 clear with that this is just broader issues that again, 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:27.960 if the media wanted to go and dig, they would 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:29.520 have dug. But they didn't want to dig because there 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.280 was only one problem they were going after. This is 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:36.280 apparently a labour staffer talking about a labor MP or minister. 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:39.400 I don't know which, I don't know when. He is 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:43.000 a man who punches the wall next to female staffers heads, 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:48.000 calling her dot dot when she passes on news he 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:51.720 doesn't want to hear. Fifty five of these there were. 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:55.480 He is a married man who plied young a young 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.480 woman with drinks until she had no idea what was happening. 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:00.600 He promised others at the Gatherer that he would get 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.960 her home safely, but before putting her in a cab, 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:06.040 he had sex with her and she had no ability 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:09.200 to consent. The next day he texted her to demand 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.960 that she took the morning after pill and blamed her 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:15.400 for what happened, saying she was so drunk that she 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:18.600 came on to him. He also threatened her to tell 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:23.360 no one. When all this was out and about. At 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.800 the height of the conversation about a need to deal 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:30.160 with the workplace of Parliament. Former Deputy Labor Leader Jennie 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.679 Macklin came out very publicly to say this was something 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.200 that needed to be dealt with, but she, of course 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:38.960 is no longer in the parliament. So my attention turns 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:43.480 to the Environment Minister Tanya Plebasek, the Finance Minister Katie 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:48.760 Gallaher and fellow cabinet member Annika Wells, because in response 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:51.360 to the fifty five women who had something to say, 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:55.160 this is what they wrote in reply, we see you, 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.600 we hear you, and are truly sorry that you have 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:02.040 had these experiences working in the party. As parliamentarians were 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:04.760 committed to making sure that these matters are dealt with 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.840 seriously and respectfully. If you want to take matters further, 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:11.080 we will keep working on to change his culture so 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:15.640 other women don't have to go what you have. That 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:19.840 was in twenty twenty one. Something was clearly a miss 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.760 that you see a high profile staffer come out and 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:27.240 say what has been said a week ago. Yet despite 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:30.600 the fact that you have three sitting members of the 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:34.200 cabinet who the media should be going to for comment 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:37.640 about the situation that happened in and around the executive 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:43.679 officers of this federal government, nothing happens. The Prime Minister 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:48.480 does multiple media appearances, nothing happens. The Deputy Prime Minister 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:50.439 is so confident he will not get asked about it 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:54.439 that he just books morning television appearances. Thankfully, Peter Stefanovic 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:58.360 decided to bring it up. So I simply say this again. 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.280 If it was Arnabie Joyce who was the Deputy Prime Minister, 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:04.480 would this silence have been there? You and I both 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:06.720 know it would not have been the case. So could 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.600 somebody please explain to all those people who were so 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:13.800 virtuous and so detailed last time, what are you doing 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:21.280 this time? And why cost still number one issue in 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:24.800 the country, regardless of what's happening in the other parts 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:27.240 of the politics or of course overseas. And we all 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:28.840 know that cost of living has got worse in this 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:31.320 country because of the behavior of this federal government. Remember 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:34.960 it was their decision to take fifteen hundred dollars automatically 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.840 off ten million workers at the height of cost of 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:41.760 living in twenty twenty three. Remember it got worse throughout 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:45.560 twenty three and is even worse today. But we know 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:47.800 the Prime Minister thinks well as in the same way 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:49.400 that they were able to get away with a dozen 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:51.440 interest rate rises because it was nothing to do with them. 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:53.920 It wasn't the Reserve Bank responding to the government putting 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:57.800 too much spending money into the economy and thus overstimulating it. No, no, 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:00.319 no, no no. It was all that evil mustache twirling Reserve 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:03.320 Bank people who keep putting up interest rates so we know. 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:05.520 When it comes to cost of living, the Prime Minister 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.360 thinks it's all about your local supermarket. 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:14.920 My government is concerned about the price of what consumers 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:18.800 pay at Couls and Woollies and other supermarkets. We want 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:26.280 to make sure that consumers benefit from cheaper prices which 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:31.400 are being paid. We're dead serious. We find it completely 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:40.400 unacceptable that when supermarkets are getting goods cheaper the prices 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:41.120 should go down. 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:46.839 Well, the Prime Minister wants Australians to turn on the supermarkets. 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:49.720 And yes, the supermarkets certainly when it comes to the agriple, 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:51.960 ce have got cases to answer about some of the 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.000 so called discounts that we're being put in front of them. 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:56.960 But we've got a poll today that shows the Prime 0:13:56.960 --> 0:14:00.480 Minister may actually have his scapegoat that he can ride 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:04.160 between now and the next election. The opinion poll which 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.800 was released by the Channel nine newspapers. We're not reporting 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:09.640 on their own organization. Well on Ali Langdon Tonight in particular, 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.520 and well under Sharry Markson for making this story become 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.560 what it has. In twenty twenty two, just twelve percent 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:19.160 of people on a negative opinion about the supermarkets, twenty 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:21.800 four percent in twenty twenty three, and now it's forty 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:27.320 two percent, with thirty four percent neutral and just twenty 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:31.880 three percent of people impositive. Oh, just miraculously to help 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:35.240 the Prime Minister. The think tank that often supplies the 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.320 ideas to the Greens that often get adopted by the 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:41.400 Labor Party, the Australian Institute, says this. The new polling, 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:43.560 which has been released by them today, finds that eighty 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:48.120 three percent of oneenty fourteen people who they spoke to 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:51.440 said that supermarkets deserved some blame or a great deal 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.040 of blame when it came to the rising cost of 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:57.440 living anger directed at supermarkets. It edged out the energy 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:01.880 companies at eighty three percent, just one percent below the supermarkets, 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.480 banks at seventy three percent, and the government at seventy 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.440 one percent. Six out of ten people said that the 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.920 most notable signs of increasing cost of living came from 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:14.040 groceries twenty one percent, electricity utilities seven percent are noticing 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:18.320 it when it comes to transport. Now again, I'm not 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:22.560 going to sit here and seeing the tune of the supermarkets, 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.600 but I am going to sing the fairness tune, which 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:27.440 is as I said to you before. Anyone who thinks 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:29.760 that the total cost of what you are charged at 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.600 a supermarket is completely and totally for the profit margin 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:35.720 of the supermarket does not understand how things work. Those 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:38.320 packets don't grow there. They have to be sourced from 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:40.520 a supply, They have to be transported, They have to 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:43.960 be either chilled or in a place that soaks up 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.920 thousands of dollars of power each and every week. Of course, 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:51.400 the people who work in those supermarkets, their wages may 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:53.400 well go up, or you may hire more people, meaning 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:56.280 the cost of being the supermarket continues to go up. 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:57.840 But I know that's not going to exist in the 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:03.040 nuanced argument now that the Pignarda of the supermarket is 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:07.360 going to be go from essential and absolute as it 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:09.440 was in twenty twenty when all of those people were 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:11.520 working their backsides off, when we didn't know what was 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:13.200 going on when it comes to COVID to now, oh, 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.160 the absolute front line of everything. That's terrible when it 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:18.240 comes to cost of living. But just a little reminder, 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:21.400 if the Prime Minister wants to keep going this way, 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.840 there is going to be a problem which we have 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:26.960 started to notice over a few months. The unions build 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:29.040 the cat on this late last year, they repeat it 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.800 this year. The number of people who are abusing the 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:35.600 people who work for the supermarket. Now, let's be very clear, 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:37.600 and the same way that the bank teller is not 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:42.080 the CEO of the bank. The person who is stocking 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:46.960 your groceries, is serving you at the deli, or is 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:51.440 serving you at the checkout, is not the CEO of 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:56.680 the supermarket. So the Prime Minister has to be careful 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:58.840 here because while it's one thing to try to find 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:02.160 the political pinard, the people who are actually getting verbally 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:05.840 and at times physically hit are the people who are 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:10.639 working on the front line for the supermarket. Here's the union. 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:14.240 Eighty five percent of our members report ben abuse to 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:18.000 the workplace over the last two years, fifteen to sixteen percent. 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.560 Terribly, it's been actually physical assaults in the workplace. 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:24.800 Now, what do you think could bring the Churches of Australia, 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:28.640 the Australian Christian Lobby, and the Human Rights Commission all 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:31.640 to the same conclusion at the same time. Well, none 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:34.639 other than the great unifier in terms of bad ideas, 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:37.840 the Prime Minister and his Communications Minister. Why because, as 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:41.119 you know, they seek to censor the Internet. All of 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:43.879 it's apparently about misinformation reality. As you know, it's the 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:46.960 government deciding what is true, what is allowed to be spread. 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.520 Pretty things that they don't want out there they would 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:54.600 rule as disinformation using left wing fact checkers, and then 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:57.480 bureaucrats working for the government would find a way to 0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:00.560 eventually get this stuff either removed from the Internet. Will 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:03.520 make it so difficult or so annoying for the social 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:06.920 media companies that they just won't post things that come 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:10.879 from news organizations or comment pieces like what I delivered 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:14.040 to you each and every night. In a story which 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:17.080 was headlined about Sarah Hanson Young who cares, there is 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:19.200 a little more detail in here that shows you about 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:22.080 who is actually joining the fight that we have been 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:24.800 on now for the best part of a year, about 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:28.359 fighting the censoring of the Internet. Forget this misinformation garbage. 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:31.800 It ain't about that it's about censoring the Internet. Let's 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:34.240 start first with the Australian Christian Lobby today, who so 0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:36.560 that one of their concerns about this bill is that 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:39.359 it has the potential to stifle the process through which 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:43.040 knowledge moves on. The misinformation of today may be proven 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:46.359 to be correct tomorrow correct see all the COVID stuff right. 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:50.679 The new information may come to displace the incumbent orthodoxies 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:54.199 of the day. This is the process of progress. The 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:58.240 Australian Christian Lobbies Elizabeth Taylor goes on to sorry. The 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:02.200 Human Rights Commission's Lorraine goes on to say today that 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:03.960 we don't feel that the bill in its current form 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:07.280 strikes the right balance in terms of protections that it provides, 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:11.440 particularly for freedom of expression see Human Rights Commission. Right, 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:13.840 they couldn't be left yet. And then of course you 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:17.639 have traditional conservative values from the right in the churches. 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:21.199 They're in the same place bin the bill. Do not 0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:26.720 censor the Internet the protections in and around freedom of expression. 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:29.680 That's a harm that we say is very real based 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:32.480 on the current drafting of the legislation, which by the way, 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:35.239 is the same position of what the former drafting was. 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:37.560 So they haven't fixed the bill. They just tried to 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:41.199 throw a bit of glitter on it. But it's a 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:44.399 harm that's actually very hard to measure because we simply 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:47.280 don't know to what extent that self censorship might occur. 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:50.640 Correct if you think that you may end up getting 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:52.560 a fine, If the social media company thinks it may 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:53.879 end up getting a fine, they will just go, you 0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:56.240 know what, We're just not doing this. Australia is just 0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:59.320 too small fry, which means the government gets to tell 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:02.280 you what's true and not true, and if you have 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:05.159 any form of evidence or an alternative opinion that you 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:07.560 can back up that, like your old English teacher used 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:10.080 to your math's teacher used to say, show working and 0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:13.120 you can show you working. Still, left wing fact checkers 0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:18.320 strike it bureaucrats, they issue the fine. The chilling effect 0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:21.080 is obvious. This is a country that, at the height 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:25.320 of COVID, arrested a woman in her pajamas because she 0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:30.560 promoted promoted a rally, nothing else. Thousands of posts were 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:39.320 pulled down, including jokes about Dan Andrews. I do not 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:43.080 trust the same people who had that power to have 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:46.440 more of it. You shouldn't either, And thank goodness we 0:20:46.480 --> 0:20:49.000 have both the churches and the Australian Human Rights Commission 0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:51.280 and most of the media organizations where we have been 0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:58.320 for a year, ditch this bad idea. So first it 0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:02.320 was Oprah Winfrey for Kamala Harris to tell us why 0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:04.240 she should be the next president of the United States. 0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:06.199 Of course this was really a campaign event and was 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:08.240 more of an advertorial. Then of course there was the 0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:10.560 view where she got the standing ovation, yet still could 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:12.359 an answer a question about what was different about the 0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:15.640 next four years in the last four years. Well, as 0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:17.840 you know today, she was on Fox News one and 0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:19.840 only time she'll turn up there, and she's doing so 0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:22.720 because she is behind in the polls. Now. I watched 0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:24.639 this thing live. I gave reaction to it live with 0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:27.560 Laura Jays. I was delighted to be on her program 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:30.960 earlier today, and I've watched it a couple of times since, 0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:34.879 because my first sense was this strangely kind of agro 0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:37.840 tone at the very start of it from both the 0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:40.280 person asking the questions, who I thought did an excellent job, 0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:42.280 and of course Kamala Harris, who was there for the 0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:44.399 fight in order to get all of the left used 0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:48.479 to go yah, you took on Fox News. Well, this 0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:50.240 was supposed to be a thirty minute interview. It was 0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:52.840 supposed to start at five pm. It was supposed to 0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:55.760 conclude at five point thirty so the production team at 0:21:55.760 --> 0:21:59.359 Fox News would be able to turn it around and 0:21:59.480 --> 0:22:02.760 play it on the show the Brittbay hosts at six 0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:05.520 pm in the United States eight and every night. But 0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:09.280 guess what, she turned up light and they tried to 0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:12.199 shrink the amount of time, which might explain why he 0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:16.160 went in so hard so early. His Britt explaining how 0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:17.960 they tried to move the goalposts. 0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:23.600 So we were supposed to start at five pm. This 0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:25.800 was the time they gave us. Originally, we're going to 0:22:25.840 --> 0:22:28.880 do twenty five or thirty minutes. They came in and said, 0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:31.920 well maybe twenty. So it was already getting whittled down. 0:22:32.160 --> 0:22:36.720 And then the vice president showed up about five point fifteen. 0:22:36.800 --> 0:22:39.440 We were pushing the envelope to be able to turn 0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:41.679 it around for the top of the six o'clock. So 0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:45.399 that's how it started. And I could tell when we 0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:49.399 started talking that she was going to be tough to to, 0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:53.119 you know, redirect without me trying to interrupt her. 0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:56.880 Now without boring you about the technology, He normally works 0:22:56.920 --> 0:22:58.760 out of Washington, but as you can say, that interview 0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:01.080 was happening in Pennsylvania, which meant that it had to 0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:03.920 be sent back to the head office, which is why, 0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:07.040 as the tape is rolling, you have to stop it 0:23:07.080 --> 0:23:09.320 at the end and then turn it around. It's digital now, 0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:11.399 But you get my point. There is a little moment 0:23:11.440 --> 0:23:13.760 of time to turn things around. By deliberately turning up 0:23:13.840 --> 0:23:16.840 late and then trying to speed things up, she knows 0:23:16.880 --> 0:23:19.000 that there's going to be less time for the conversation. 0:23:19.359 --> 0:23:22.560 So Brett Baer basically decided to start the interview in 0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:25.240 the middle of the conversation and hit her straight between 0:23:25.320 --> 0:23:25.800 the eyes. 0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:32.160 How many illegal immigrants would you estimate your administration has 0:23:32.200 --> 0:23:35.040 released into the country over the last three and a 0:23:35.080 --> 0:23:35.840 half years. 0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:38.400 Well, I'm glad you raised the issue of immigration because 0:23:38.400 --> 0:23:41.679 I agree with you. It is a topic of discussion 0:23:41.800 --> 0:23:45.879 that people want to rightly have and you know what 0:23:45.880 --> 0:23:46.680 I'm going to talk about. 0:23:46.880 --> 0:23:47.879 But you're just a number. 0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:49.679 Do you think it's one million, three million? 0:23:50.160 --> 0:23:53.000 Brett, Let's just get to the point, okay. The point 0:23:53.160 --> 0:23:57.160 is that we have a broken immigration system that needs 0:23:57.160 --> 0:23:57.960 to be repaired. 0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:03.320 She doesn't know because she doesn't care. The answer is 0:24:03.320 --> 0:24:06.199 that it's millions of people. Some estimates are about ten some 0:24:06.359 --> 0:24:09.879 estimates at about six million. Think about that, ten million 0:24:09.880 --> 0:24:12.479 people crossing into your country from both the north and 0:24:12.560 --> 0:24:17.040 the south in less than four years. That is the 0:24:17.040 --> 0:24:20.680 population of entire states, That is the population of many 0:24:20.720 --> 0:24:26.520 significant cities. That is literally the population of well about 0:24:26.520 --> 0:24:31.160 a third of this country. He goes on to confront 0:24:31.160 --> 0:24:33.439 her with the names of people who have been killed 0:24:33.800 --> 0:24:38.000 by people who should not have been in the country. She, 0:24:38.119 --> 0:24:41.199 of course has no idea who these people are and 0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:43.960 wants to somehow make it Donald Trump's fault. Have a 0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:44.320 look at. 0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:49.320 This well and Hungary, Rachel Morn, Lincoln Riley. They are 0:24:49.480 --> 0:24:52.639 young women who were brutally assaulted and killed by some 0:24:52.680 --> 0:24:54.879 of the men who were released at the beginning of 0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:59.600 the administration well before and negotiated bipartisan bills as well, 0:24:59.640 --> 0:25:02.040 before Ronald Trump got involved in the politics. This is 0:25:02.080 --> 0:25:06.160 a specific policy decision by your administration to release these 0:25:06.160 --> 0:25:08.159 men into the country. So what I'm saying to you, 0:25:08.480 --> 0:25:11.800 do you know, I think an apology. 0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:15.400 Let me just say, first of all, those are tragic cases. 0:25:16.400 --> 0:25:20.520 There's no question about that, and there's no question about that, 0:25:20.840 --> 0:25:25.159 and I can't imagine the pain that the families of 0:25:25.200 --> 0:25:32.200 those victims experience. Happened to days determine whether we have 0:25:32.240 --> 0:25:36.280 a president of the United States who actually cares more 0:25:36.320 --> 0:25:38.960 about fixing a problem, even if it is not to 0:25:39.000 --> 0:25:42.920 their political advantage in an election. Because there was a solution, 0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:44.200 Brett ma and. 0:25:44.160 --> 0:25:46.960 Vice President, it was a policy decision in the early 0:25:47.000 --> 0:25:48.080 part of your administration. 0:25:48.160 --> 0:25:52.920 I relect the borderie. 0:25:52.160 --> 0:25:55.919 The Biden Harris administration. Open border policies are responsible for 0:25:56.000 --> 0:25:57.159 the death of my daughter. 0:25:58.040 --> 0:26:02.480 That's the early days. So do you hold them an apologies? 0:26:02.680 --> 0:26:03.520 I shall tell you. 0:26:03.480 --> 0:26:06.760 That I am so sorry for her last. I'm so 0:26:06.840 --> 0:26:10.919 sorry for her last. Sincerely, what about a story, But 0:26:11.000 --> 0:26:16.800 let's talk about what is happening this with an individual 0:26:17.000 --> 0:26:19.280 who does not want to participate in solutions. 0:26:22.920 --> 0:26:26.400 That is a whole other level. Right now. We all 0:26:26.440 --> 0:26:28.800 know politicians, when they get asked a question they don't 0:26:28.840 --> 0:26:30.520 want to answer, they'll try to find a way out 0:26:30.520 --> 0:26:35.679 of it. The question is direct, excellent idea, excellent idea 0:26:35.720 --> 0:26:37.879 to play grabs by the way to her. So she 0:26:37.960 --> 0:26:39.720 saw all of that, so she can't proteend she doesn't 0:26:39.760 --> 0:26:43.840 know she sees the brevity, she sees the seriousness of 0:26:43.880 --> 0:26:48.440 the situation off to Donald Trump. And by the way, 0:26:48.440 --> 0:26:50.199 when she talks about some sort of border fix, this 0:26:50.280 --> 0:26:53.199 bill that never was going to happen. It was going 0:26:53.240 --> 0:26:55.760 to let in five thousand people a day before they 0:26:55.800 --> 0:26:58.479 would close the border. Times through sixty five, it's more 0:26:58.520 --> 0:27:02.919 than a million more than a Midian people under her fix, 0:27:03.200 --> 0:27:05.240 by the way, would still be able to wander into 0:27:05.280 --> 0:27:13.960 the country, potentially going on to work or in some 0:27:14.000 --> 0:27:16.880 cases commit crimes. By the way, a person who crossed 0:27:16.920 --> 0:27:20.160 into the border under this administration has just been arrested recently. 0:27:20.640 --> 0:27:25.360 Their plan was a terrorist attack on election day. Yet 0:27:25.560 --> 0:27:29.320 to lefties immigration, it's just some sort of coded racism thing. No, no, 0:27:29.280 --> 0:27:33.600 it's a safety thing. If you don't have a boarder, 0:27:33.600 --> 0:27:36.199 you don't have a country. There is nothing wrong with 0:27:36.280 --> 0:27:40.119 that position. Well, this garbage, of course, it all just 0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:42.919 goes on where the real purpose of her going on 0:27:43.000 --> 0:27:45.200 Fox News was to gin up all of the people 0:27:45.200 --> 0:27:48.240 who were already voting for her by dialing it up 0:27:48.320 --> 0:27:51.240 to eleven and going as hard as Joe Biden did 0:27:51.520 --> 0:27:53.639 when he was losing in the polls by a very 0:27:53.680 --> 0:27:57.080 significant margin. But it was all about Donald Trump is 0:27:57.200 --> 0:27:59.159 the next coming of the devil. 0:28:00.600 --> 0:28:01.560 He's unstable. 0:28:01.640 --> 0:28:04.720 Stable, he is unstable, he's not well. You say, he's 0:28:04.760 --> 0:28:10.200 mentally not stable as you and many interviewers. 0:28:10.920 --> 0:28:13.840 Unbelievable. Nice. They put the ramp in for Joe just 0:28:13.840 --> 0:28:15.080 in case he was going to turn up by the 0:28:15.080 --> 0:28:18.920 way during the interview, and finally the whole thing was 0:28:18.960 --> 0:28:21.879 wrapped up by her staff. They know how bad this was. 0:28:22.200 --> 0:28:24.920 As much as Twitter's going to news, you put them 0:28:24.920 --> 0:28:27.440 in their place? Did you see a president just then? 0:28:27.880 --> 0:28:29.840 I didn't when I saw that thirty minutes. 0:28:30.840 --> 0:28:32.920 And best fighting force in the world. 0:28:32.720 --> 0:28:35.000 Madam Vice president and giving me a hard rap. 0:28:35.119 --> 0:28:36.200 Well, I thank you for the time. 0:28:36.240 --> 0:28:37.880 I thank you for the time to me too, Thank 0:28:37.920 --> 0:28:38.720 you very much, thank you. 0:28:39.800 --> 0:28:42.120 She hated every second of it. It had all the 0:28:42.200 --> 0:28:47.440 warmth of I haven't been through one, but I'm assuming 0:28:47.520 --> 0:28:50.240 what it's like to divide your property up during a divorce. 0:28:51.120 --> 0:28:53.440 Why did she go on? She had an opportunity to 0:28:53.440 --> 0:28:56.000 speak to people who wouldn't normally see her for thirty minutes, 0:28:56.320 --> 0:28:59.160 and she would be able to turn around and say, look, break, 0:28:59.240 --> 0:29:01.160 let's calm down, let's have a conversation. There was why 0:29:01.240 --> 0:29:04.280 she could have changed that. Instead, the whole point was, Oh, 0:29:04.680 --> 0:29:07.000 I'm just here with the zoo animals. Look how crazy 0:29:07.080 --> 0:29:11.440 they all are. So let's look at the reviews first. 0:29:11.440 --> 0:29:14.320 Ben Shapiro, I think I agree with his worldview here. 0:29:15.680 --> 0:29:18.600 Kamala Harris just completed her interview with Brett Baer on 0:29:18.640 --> 0:29:22.840 Fox News and it was, as advertised, a complete bleep show. 0:29:23.280 --> 0:29:25.960 Wow wow, wow, wow wow. I thought it was not 0:29:26.000 --> 0:29:27.720 going to be great. I did not think it was 0:29:27.720 --> 0:29:28.840 going to be that not great. 0:29:29.880 --> 0:29:32.440 Iiver on MSNBA say, of course, she's a bomber in 0:29:32.480 --> 0:29:33.080 a pant suit. 0:29:34.520 --> 0:29:39.440 Moments ago, Harris even ventured into the hostile television territory. 0:29:39.920 --> 0:29:44.400 The Vice President managed to wrestle away from migrant crisis 0:29:44.440 --> 0:29:47.720 fear marngering to address the stakes of this election. 0:29:49.040 --> 0:29:54.200 Showing footage of the family members of three women who 0:29:54.200 --> 0:29:59.120 have been killed as a result of the As for 0:29:59.160 --> 0:30:01.960 the middle I probably agree with this too. Mark Halprin 0:30:02.160 --> 0:30:04.120 is a man who is well known to those of 0:30:04.200 --> 0:30:06.240 us that are obsessed with American politics, or at least 0:30:06.280 --> 0:30:08.920 talk about it a lot on the TV. He says 0:30:09.560 --> 0:30:10.000 not much. 0:30:11.560 --> 0:30:13.440 Most people I've talked to, in my own judgment is 0:30:13.480 --> 0:30:17.240 it's not going to impact the race. She did well 0:30:17.280 --> 0:30:19.720 in some ways, I think, in poorly in others. I 0:30:19.720 --> 0:30:22.520 think if you're inclined to be critical of her, you'd 0:30:22.520 --> 0:30:25.880 say she was evasive, you'd say she was angry, you'd 0:30:25.960 --> 0:30:30.560 say that she was overrehearsed, and you'd say she didn't 0:30:30.600 --> 0:30:33.479 deliver a sound bye. And she had a phrase she 0:30:33.560 --> 0:30:35.880 used a couple of times on tough questions, I will 0:30:35.960 --> 0:30:39.600 enforce the law for the laws of the nation. To me, 0:30:39.720 --> 0:30:43.520 that's rape to become the new no controlling legal authority. 0:30:44.560 --> 0:30:45.880 It's a meaningless expression. 0:30:46.640 --> 0:30:49.440 The latest polls tonight, Donald Trump, on the average is 0:30:49.560 --> 0:30:52.800 in front in most, if not all, of the swing states. 0:30:53.320 --> 0:30:54.680 There was also a pole which is put out by 0:30:54.720 --> 0:30:56.959 Fox News Today that shows that Trump is actually winning 0:30:57.040 --> 0:31:00.280 in the national vote fifty to forty eight. When it 0:31:00.280 --> 0:31:03.520 comes to the issues, Donald Trump is preferred by voters 0:31:03.600 --> 0:31:07.680 on the war in the Middle East, the economy, crime, guns, taxes, 0:31:08.080 --> 0:31:11.800 as well as immigration. Kamala Harris has a clear lead 0:31:11.840 --> 0:31:16.600 on election integrity, health care, climate change, and of course abortion. 0:31:17.280 --> 0:31:19.840 But also worth voting here too, is about whether people 0:31:19.840 --> 0:31:23.120 are voting for or against a candidate. In this Fox 0:31:23.160 --> 0:31:25.480 News poll, sixty six percent of people who plan to 0:31:25.520 --> 0:31:28.640 vote Democrat are doing so to vote for Harris, thirty 0:31:28.640 --> 0:31:32.080 five percent of voting against Trump. That's why the whole 0:31:32.080 --> 0:31:35.120 tone of her interview was the against Trump bit. As 0:31:35.120 --> 0:31:37.440 for those that are voting Republican, eighty percent of voting 0:31:37.480 --> 0:31:41.800 for Trump and less than twenty percent are voting against Harris. 0:31:42.640 --> 0:31:44.680 Lots more between now and then we will discuss this 0:31:44.760 --> 0:31:46.520 and a whole lot more, including some big news of 0:31:46.520 --> 0:31:49.000 the day and whether the Prime Minister and his deputy 0:31:49.400 --> 0:31:51.080 are just getting a bit too big for their bridges. 0:31:51.120 --> 0:31:53.600 We'll talk about that, Nooks, no Lefties, and the wonderful 0:31:53.600 --> 0:31:56.680 Benny Clemenco reflecting on a great battist win. We're only 0:31:56.680 --> 0:32:03.680 halfway through four monthly life Thanks watch. Thank you to 0:32:03.720 --> 0:32:05.600 my mate Heath, who's just sent me a text message 0:32:05.640 --> 0:32:07.880 saying that I look with the black shirt like Philip Adams. 0:32:08.600 --> 0:32:09.920 Is that a compliment? 0:32:10.240 --> 0:32:12.000 I'm watching you. I hope you're having a good time mate, 0:32:12.000 --> 0:32:13.440 All the best of your dad too. All right, let's 0:32:13.440 --> 0:32:15.320 get into it right now. None other than Michael Kroger, 0:32:15.360 --> 0:32:17.840 who is well, he's ready to well just walk the 0:32:17.840 --> 0:32:21.480 streets of Melbourne inform people about their opinions. And the otherwise. 0:32:21.560 --> 0:32:23.520 You know, free hugs, all the rest of it. Henry Pike, 0:32:23.560 --> 0:32:25.040 of course, as a member of the LMP and the 0:32:25.080 --> 0:32:27.800 Federal Parliament, joins us now from Brisbane, Michael, let's talk 0:32:27.800 --> 0:32:30.600 about the Prime Minister and his deputy. Now. It feels 0:32:30.680 --> 0:32:35.240 like these guys are so confident that the worst possible 0:32:35.280 --> 0:32:37.320 result out of the next election is a minority government. 0:32:37.320 --> 0:32:39.360 And that's fine. They're all lefties, they'll back us all 0:32:39.400 --> 0:32:41.400 in that. It doesn't matter if you're buy the house 0:32:41.400 --> 0:32:43.600 for four and a bit million dollars. It doesn't matter 0:32:43.600 --> 0:32:45.640 if there's issues when it comes to the staffing. Again, 0:32:45.800 --> 0:32:47.760 I don't want to get into the weeds on that, 0:32:47.960 --> 0:32:51.400 but it's just they are carrying themselves with something that 0:32:51.600 --> 0:32:54.120 is above confidence and we're starting to get to a 0:32:54.200 --> 0:32:56.920 level of hubris here that I think people can smell. 0:32:57.280 --> 0:32:58.840 Am I just a hater? Or do you smell a 0:32:58.920 --> 0:33:01.080 t No? 0:33:01.080 --> 0:33:03.160 No, no, no, you're not a year You smell it 0:33:03.200 --> 0:33:05.560 and everyone can smell everyone can see it. Don't forget 0:33:05.560 --> 0:33:09.520 four point three million dollar purchase price attracts two hundred 0:33:09.520 --> 0:33:12.440 and twenty thousand dollars in additional stamp duty as well. 0:33:12.480 --> 0:33:14.680 By the way, so it's over four point five million 0:33:14.680 --> 0:33:18.560 when you add in the state government's five percent. No mate, 0:33:19.320 --> 0:33:23.400 I'm gobsmacked that a person like Albow who has built 0:33:23.440 --> 0:33:26.600 his brand on the fact that he came from Struggles 0:33:26.640 --> 0:33:29.840 Street to Quite Alan Jones to the position where he 0:33:29.920 --> 0:33:33.520 is now as primus the country but playing as a 0:33:33.520 --> 0:33:36.000 property develop a property investor. I mean, he's been a 0:33:36.040 --> 0:33:38.840 public service salary and MP's salary for twenty eight years. 0:33:39.360 --> 0:33:41.360 But he's able to be built up millions. He's built 0:33:41.400 --> 0:33:44.000 up millions and millions of dollars in profits. Good luck 0:33:44.040 --> 0:33:47.120 to him. Clever investing, Nothing wrong with that, but when 0:33:47.440 --> 0:33:51.160 you know, if you're making your name as a property developer, 0:33:51.240 --> 0:33:54.320 a property spooker, that's how I made my money. Fine, 0:33:54.440 --> 0:33:57.760 But his whole backstory has been you know, I'm just 0:33:57.800 --> 0:34:00.800 a poor boy from a from a housing can property 0:34:01.440 --> 0:34:03.479 and to throw it in the face of everybody, he've 0:34:03.480 --> 0:34:06.600 been effectively four point five million a few months before 0:34:06.600 --> 0:34:10.200 an election. Given the house in cristis high infrastrates, people 0:34:10.239 --> 0:34:12.839 can't put food on the table. I mean, this guy 0:34:12.880 --> 0:34:15.160 gives every impression he's headed for the exit, doesn't. He's 0:34:15.160 --> 0:34:16.279 about to get married and he's waught a. 0:34:16.239 --> 0:34:16.839 Hole of the house. 0:34:17.120 --> 0:34:18.959 He looks like he's headed for the exit. And after 0:34:18.960 --> 0:34:21.200 twenty nine years in Parliament, which will be next March, 0:34:21.800 --> 0:34:24.600 he's saying to people, are one another four for thirty 0:34:24.640 --> 0:34:25.080 three years? 0:34:25.080 --> 0:34:25.279 Really? 0:34:25.360 --> 0:34:27.279 Is he going to go the full next term? This 0:34:27.280 --> 0:34:29.279 guy's headed for the exit and everyone can smell it, mate. 0:34:29.400 --> 0:34:29.560 Yeah. 0:34:29.600 --> 0:34:32.360 I mean the other thing, Henry is it's this sense 0:34:32.520 --> 0:34:34.960 of it again. It is just this sense we can 0:34:35.000 --> 0:34:36.919 do no wrong because even when we do do wrong, 0:34:36.960 --> 0:34:39.319 we know the media won't follow up, right, which brings 0:34:39.360 --> 0:34:41.279 us again back to that, to that question in and 0:34:41.280 --> 0:34:44.280 around if it had been a liberal minister, a liberal 0:34:44.280 --> 0:34:47.920 prime minister, I mean again, right, I'm not wailing on Barnaby, 0:34:47.920 --> 0:34:50.359 but we get the point right if the names were different. Oh, 0:34:50.400 --> 0:34:52.520 we're forensic on who on what day and where and 0:34:52.560 --> 0:34:54.960 what and quick you know, off to four Corners and 0:34:55.160 --> 0:34:58.840 seventeen special episodes of seven thirty report, but no such 0:34:58.880 --> 0:35:02.279 inquiry here. I know that there's nothing surprising about this, 0:35:02.760 --> 0:35:05.840 but it is worth underlining to people watching about that 0:35:06.000 --> 0:35:09.880 often bias comes through omission. What they won't talk about, 0:35:10.040 --> 0:35:13.080 what they won't follow up, what they won't go Canberra 0:35:13.120 --> 0:35:19.279 Columbo on you're exactly right, Paul. There's obviously two standards. 0:35:19.320 --> 0:35:21.560 And of course if something like this, if either of 0:35:21.600 --> 0:35:23.520 these stories that occurred in the dying days of the 0:35:23.560 --> 0:35:26.320 last government, this would have been weeks of media coverage. 0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:28.880 Both these stories have largely run their course now, but 0:35:28.960 --> 0:35:31.960 I think for most astraints are looking at these and going, well, 0:35:32.160 --> 0:35:34.319 why why are they so distracted? Why is the Prime 0:35:34.360 --> 0:35:36.719 Minister focusing on is where he's going to be living 0:35:36.719 --> 0:35:39.720 in his retirement. Why is the Deputy prime Minister worried 0:35:39.760 --> 0:35:43.280 about his staffing arrangements and what's going on in there. 0:35:43.040 --> 0:35:45.520 We don't want them distracted. We want them focusing on 0:35:45.560 --> 0:35:47.640 what matters to them. They should be having a laser 0:35:47.760 --> 0:35:51.360 like focus on what matters to people right now, including 0:35:51.360 --> 0:35:54.640 the cost of living crisis, and instead all they're seeing 0:35:54.680 --> 0:35:56.120 is distraction from this government. 0:35:56.360 --> 0:35:58.520 Yeah, Buddy Oath they are. But we remain laser focused. 0:35:58.560 --> 0:36:02.359 We will continue to do so. Former staff of the 0:36:02.600 --> 0:36:05.960 Gillard Rudd time was out and about writing in the 0:36:06.040 --> 0:36:08.320 channelin newspapers this week that minority government. 0:36:08.360 --> 0:36:09.440 Is it really that bad? 0:36:09.880 --> 0:36:12.479 Michael? If that's where we seem to be headed, given 0:36:12.520 --> 0:36:14.640 where the polls are, would you like to remind this 0:36:14.680 --> 0:36:17.319 person and everyone else watching right now. What having to 0:36:17.440 --> 0:36:21.520 ask half a dozen people every single time you want 0:36:21.560 --> 0:36:25.359 to pass anything, including a motion to wrap up and 0:36:25.440 --> 0:36:28.360 go to dinner, is going to be a problem for 0:36:28.440 --> 0:36:29.040 the country. 0:36:30.920 --> 0:36:33.320 This will be a disasked if you think, if you 0:36:33.360 --> 0:36:37.080 think the senate's a disaster as it is, a government 0:36:37.160 --> 0:36:39.520 never knows whether they're going to get their legislation through 0:36:39.760 --> 0:36:42.200 or not. They've got a horse trade all day, all night, right, 0:36:42.320 --> 0:36:46.560 their legislation comes out as a dog's breakfast in the end. 0:36:46.800 --> 0:36:49.600 That by two I mean in the lower House we're 0:36:49.600 --> 0:36:53.240 going to have a minority government. If Albo gets gets 0:36:53.719 --> 0:36:54.880 he's not going to get He's not going to have 0:36:54.880 --> 0:36:58.399 a minority government, zero chance of that. But he's going 0:36:58.440 --> 0:37:00.640 to get. You know, I've got him on six. If 0:37:00.640 --> 0:37:02.399 he gets a few more than that, he cobbles together 0:37:02.440 --> 0:37:05.160 a few Greens and others, Yeah, it's accurately possible he'll 0:37:05.160 --> 0:37:08.799 get back to seventy six and be in government. What 0:37:08.920 --> 0:37:10.960 a mess that would be. I mean, he's going to 0:37:11.040 --> 0:37:15.400 need eight or ten cross benches to support him when 0:37:15.440 --> 0:37:17.840 he's trying to get legislations through. They'll give him support 0:37:17.880 --> 0:37:21.440 on supply and confidence if he can cobble seventy six together. 0:37:22.600 --> 0:37:26.040 But as you say, every piece of legislation, every division, 0:37:26.800 --> 0:37:30.080 every question time, questions, the whole thing will be a 0:37:30.160 --> 0:37:33.239 complete fiasco. And in the end, I think the other 0:37:33.440 --> 0:37:36.200 people can smell. People can smell this is coming, and 0:37:36.200 --> 0:37:38.160 they're not lying it. That's why I think that'ton the 0:37:38.280 --> 0:37:40.160 slight favorite to win this election. Made as I said 0:37:40.239 --> 0:37:40.920 last week. 0:37:40.840 --> 0:37:43.920 Yeah, I mean Henry even down to very practical matters, right, 0:37:43.960 --> 0:37:46.919 So for whatever reason, you can't be in Canberra that day, 0:37:47.040 --> 0:37:49.200 so you've got the issue this thing called a pair 0:37:49.320 --> 0:37:52.600 right where your vote matches off the other person's vote 0:37:52.680 --> 0:37:55.600 when you need everything, they're never given out. Just the 0:37:55.680 --> 0:37:59.560 practicality of those three years might be great for the 0:37:59.600 --> 0:38:01.520 Teals to say, oh, well we're going to be at 0:38:01.520 --> 0:38:03.560 the heart of the conversation, We're going to be right 0:38:03.600 --> 0:38:06.000 in the middle of things. But the reality is that 0:38:06.080 --> 0:38:07.640 it is just this dog's breakfast. 0:38:10.400 --> 0:38:13.040 It will be a complete dog's breakfast. But beyond the 0:38:13.040 --> 0:38:15.360 practicality is what I'm really worried about is where the 0:38:15.400 --> 0:38:19.240 ideological direction will go. If you think way Albanezy government 0:38:19.280 --> 0:38:22.719 is bad, now imagine I how farther left they're going 0:38:22.760 --> 0:38:24.840 to be pulled by the Teals and the Greens. And 0:38:24.880 --> 0:38:26.680 don't forget that the Teals are way out there on 0:38:26.719 --> 0:38:29.240 a lot of these policy issues in further than the Greens. 0:38:29.880 --> 0:38:31.480 So if they're the ones who are calling the shots 0:38:31.520 --> 0:38:34.000 and have a gun to the Prime Minister's head, this 0:38:34.080 --> 0:38:36.640 is going to be an absolute disaster for the country 0:38:36.680 --> 0:38:39.239 and it's going to make those Gillard years that we're 0:38:39.239 --> 0:38:42.080 written about this week really do look like a Golden 0:38:42.080 --> 0:38:43.560 Nearer in comparison. 0:38:44.000 --> 0:38:46.239 Now we all know that the Queensland Labor government is 0:38:46.280 --> 0:38:50.480 superfluous too. Needs hopefully the good people of Queensland they flush, 0:38:50.600 --> 0:38:52.120 as I have said in the past, they get the 0:38:52.160 --> 0:38:55.400 domestos out, get rid of the stains, goodbye. All right, 0:38:55.520 --> 0:38:57.600 all the Poles seem to point in that direction. But 0:38:57.600 --> 0:38:59.480 but bah bah bah bah, but no, not ihing is 0:38:59.480 --> 0:39:02.920 inevitable in twenty nineteen. Federally, don't assume your neighbor's going 0:39:02.960 --> 0:39:05.400 to do it. Make sure that your preferences they matter. 0:39:05.480 --> 0:39:09.000 All of that stuff is vitally important when it comes 0:39:09.040 --> 0:39:11.560 to the polling question. The exit polling seemed very good, 0:39:11.640 --> 0:39:13.920 where there was a growth in labor in a Liberal 0:39:13.920 --> 0:39:17.080 part or LNP vote in some seats of twenty five percent. 0:39:17.320 --> 0:39:20.480 But Cruci Fooley says, yep, great, awesome, I'll ride the wave, 0:39:20.520 --> 0:39:25.000 but I ain't saying we've done it yet. They're not 0:39:25.080 --> 0:39:26.080 the numbers of drivers. 0:39:26.160 --> 0:39:29.319 They can't be when you think about what Queensland's going 0:39:29.360 --> 0:39:30.120 through at the moment. 0:39:30.320 --> 0:39:32.560 We've got an ambulance ramping at forty five percent. 0:39:32.960 --> 0:39:33.719 That drives me. 0:39:34.760 --> 0:39:38.000 All right, Henry, You're going to be confident but nervous 0:39:38.000 --> 0:39:40.640 because you obviously want the same result that most people 0:39:40.680 --> 0:39:43.479 watching this program, certainly myself and Michael would like as well. 0:39:43.520 --> 0:39:45.480 I think Chris a fully and the LMP deserve will 0:39:45.520 --> 0:39:47.680 and truly a shot at it. But is there anything 0:39:47.719 --> 0:39:52.600 that you want to urge your colleagues when it's down 0:39:52.640 --> 0:39:54.560 to the crossing of the t's and the dotting of 0:39:54.600 --> 0:39:57.640 the eyes here, because it seems to me like twelve 0:39:57.719 --> 0:39:59.640 is a lot of seats to win. Even on the 0:39:59.680 --> 0:40:02.400 exit pole they were showing of the team that they 0:40:02.400 --> 0:40:04.600 looked at, Okay, maybe eight you could start to say, 0:40:04.680 --> 0:40:08.600 hitting your way, well, eight eight, twelve. 0:40:12.200 --> 0:40:14.719 I've been out of the prepole boots every day this 0:40:14.800 --> 0:40:17.319 week and I can tell you there's definitely a mood 0:40:17.360 --> 0:40:20.200 for change. But that's only the very early voters. These 0:40:20.200 --> 0:40:22.480 are the most organized people, and that's the people who've 0:40:22.520 --> 0:40:26.440 been pulled through this exit pole. What I'm worried about 0:40:26.480 --> 0:40:28.200 is what's going to bring you know, what's going to 0:40:28.200 --> 0:40:30.120 come forward next week, what's going to happen on the 0:40:30.120 --> 0:40:32.759 actual day. But what I've been really pleased about is, 0:40:32.800 --> 0:40:35.480 you know, David Chris of Foley, Jared Blair, they were 0:40:35.520 --> 0:40:38.200 out on the polls with me this week and I 0:40:38.239 --> 0:40:39.160 was really impressed by. 0:40:39.080 --> 0:40:41.040 Their work, ethic and their approach to it. 0:40:41.080 --> 0:40:43.520 I don't think they're going to leave any stone unturned, 0:40:43.560 --> 0:40:45.760 and I don't think they're going to take anything for granted. 0:40:45.960 --> 0:40:48.560 But my message to Queenslanders would be, do not waste 0:40:48.560 --> 0:40:51.000 your vote. Make sure you put one in that LMP 0:40:51.160 --> 0:40:54.279 box and make sure if you really want to get 0:40:54.320 --> 0:40:57.000 that domestos out as you're mentioning, make sure you actually 0:40:57.000 --> 0:40:57.520 get it done. 0:40:57.600 --> 0:40:58.880 Don't waste that vote. 0:40:59.000 --> 0:41:00.719 Don't worry they keep the tape. When I say that 0:41:00.760 --> 0:41:03.200 it was not grade four years ago, I think it'll 0:41:03.239 --> 0:41:04.840 be fine in a couple of weeks time. All right, 0:41:04.920 --> 0:41:07.880 let's talk about Harris on Fox today. Did she do 0:41:07.920 --> 0:41:11.160 herself any damage? Michael, because look, either she was terrible. 0:41:11.200 --> 0:41:14.439 She didn't answer questions, she was combative, She deliberately turned 0:41:14.480 --> 0:41:17.000 up late, trying to shrink the amount of time that 0:41:17.160 --> 0:41:20.560 was there. She was obviously talking to an audience that 0:41:20.760 --> 0:41:23.120 one would assume wasn't going to vote for her anyway. 0:41:23.480 --> 0:41:26.120 But to me, she pitled away an opportunity to just 0:41:26.200 --> 0:41:29.200 get one vote, one vote that she didn't have before 0:41:29.239 --> 0:41:29.880 the start. 0:41:29.640 --> 0:41:30.280 Of that interview. 0:41:30.560 --> 0:41:35.240 Instead, she was off there pretending Donald Trump's the big problem, 0:41:35.280 --> 0:41:38.359 and the reality is she's Her closing message is what 0:41:38.440 --> 0:41:42.759 Biden was trying to push up Hill for two years. 0:41:44.280 --> 0:41:46.840 Mate, I'm getting too old to waste twenty two minutes 0:41:46.880 --> 0:41:49.839 of my life on watching Kamala Harris being interviewed by 0:41:49.920 --> 0:41:52.960 Brett Baer. I mean, it's what I say about listening 0:41:53.040 --> 0:41:56.479 to Kevin Rudd. You know, it's like listening to Rudd. 0:41:56.640 --> 0:41:59.919 It's time, ladies and gentlemen, you'll never get back right. 0:42:00.040 --> 0:42:04.160 The clock ticks, life goes forward. You know, you age 0:42:04.280 --> 0:42:07.400 day by day, minute by minute, mate, and you can't 0:42:07.400 --> 0:42:09.160 say to far the time I want that twenty two 0:42:09.200 --> 0:42:12.120 minutes back. I'll be honest, mate. I thought she was 0:42:12.280 --> 0:42:16.919 utterly atrocious. It was embarrassing. It was a train wreck. 0:42:17.200 --> 0:42:19.560 I can't believe those commentators that fellow out on before 0:42:19.600 --> 0:42:22.279 and say, oh, well she wasn't great, but that was 0:42:22.360 --> 0:42:26.239 a train wreck. I mean, how many illegal immigrants have 0:42:26.320 --> 0:42:30.200 come across the border. It went downhill from there. She 0:42:30.400 --> 0:42:33.399 is just an actor, right, she is an actor. I've 0:42:33.440 --> 0:42:37.000 seen this many times in politics. Her advisors will beIN 0:42:37.200 --> 0:42:40.040 there right at the meeting three months ago. She'll say, listen, 0:42:40.160 --> 0:42:42.880 I don't know much. I'm not a real politician. I 0:42:42.920 --> 0:42:45.120 was a lawyer, I was a prosecutor. I fell into 0:42:45.120 --> 0:42:48.680 this job as VP because all the reasons she was appointed. 0:42:48.719 --> 0:42:51.160 We know, I'm not really across the policy. I know 0:42:51.200 --> 0:42:55.319 nothing about foreign policy. I know nothing about economics. You know, 0:42:56.440 --> 0:42:58.799 I'm very left wing on all these issues. What am 0:42:58.800 --> 0:43:01.120 I going to do? They'll have said, the only way 0:43:01.160 --> 0:43:03.719 to get you through is here are ten stock phrases. 0:43:03.920 --> 0:43:06.800 You use, correct and we'll change. 0:43:06.640 --> 0:43:07.279 As we go through. 0:43:07.560 --> 0:43:09.920 Just trot out these phrases if you don't know the answer, 0:43:10.239 --> 0:43:12.759 trot out the phrase about your mother, trot out the 0:43:12.760 --> 0:43:15.960 phrase about turning the page. And then went in doubt 0:43:16.200 --> 0:43:19.520 just to tack, just go just blather on about Trump. 0:43:20.160 --> 0:43:21.960 And that's what she's been doing for three months. She 0:43:22.000 --> 0:43:24.560 should never have done the interview. The problem she's got 0:43:24.640 --> 0:43:27.720 is the American public appear right at the last minute 0:43:27.920 --> 0:43:28.959 to be working her out. 0:43:29.280 --> 0:43:32.080 Yeah, fingers cross, fingers crossed anyway, Henry, who's you win 0:43:32.200 --> 0:43:33.160 or a loser this week? Mate? 0:43:35.360 --> 0:43:35.480 Well? 0:43:35.520 --> 0:43:37.800 I think the big loser this week was Stephen Miles 0:43:37.840 --> 0:43:41.439 with jumping the shark on this school lunch's policy, which 0:43:41.480 --> 0:43:42.279 has gone down like. 0:43:42.200 --> 0:43:43.200 A lead balloon up here. 0:43:43.239 --> 0:43:44.120 And I don't think he is. 0:43:44.120 --> 0:43:45.799 I think he threw out everything that was left with 0:43:45.800 --> 0:43:47.399 his credibility and got nothing for it. 0:43:47.680 --> 0:43:49.560 I'm with you.

I'm just looking behind you right now, obviously, 0:45:16.320 --> 0:45:19.959 second time you've won Baptist and the distance between those 0:45:20.000 --> 0:45:22.439 two a lot's happened. That's great and all the rest 0:45:22.440 --> 0:45:24.319 of it. What's it like to have two of them 0:45:24.360 --> 0:45:26.520 behind you? Now? Is it starting? You're starting to notice 0:45:26.560 --> 0:45:28.960 that both of them or you know, you don't play 0:45:29.000 --> 0:45:32.520 favorites amongst your puppies. You wouldn't dare amongst your trophies, right. 0:45:33.280 --> 0:45:36.120 No, but this one, this one was special. This one 0:45:36.160 --> 0:45:40.359 was This one was done in a different way. We 0:45:40.360 --> 0:45:44.160 were very calm, We were very Everything was perfect, We 0:45:44.239 --> 0:45:47.600 did everything. We practiced so hard. The boys practiced for 0:45:47.680 --> 0:45:51.840 months before. The drivers were all very calm. Everyone was 0:45:51.880 --> 0:45:55.560 just very calm. And except for me at the very end, 0:45:55.680 --> 0:45:57.720 and I was shaking, holding on to a toolkit. 0:45:58.560 --> 0:46:01.839 Well, and how is Daniel, of course, your equal half, 0:46:01.880 --> 0:46:04.480 your beautiful husband. He's always just no drama, like he 0:46:04.520 --> 0:46:05.279 never showed. 0:46:05.080 --> 0:46:08.279 Up, no drama, was sitting there chatting away, and I'm 0:46:08.320 --> 0:46:10.160 looking at him like out of the corner of my 0:46:10.239 --> 0:46:12.480 are going come on, come and stand next to me, 0:46:13.040 --> 0:46:17.200 you know, two minutes to go, And finally, like halfway 0:46:17.600 --> 0:46:19.759 through the last lab he says, when they get to 0:46:19.840 --> 0:46:21.560 the chase, we'll go outside. 0:46:22.760 --> 0:46:26.120 You have been relentlessly kind to me over the years 0:46:26.160 --> 0:46:28.680 to give me the chance to stand beside you at 0:46:28.719 --> 0:46:32.440 races to watch how it all works. Obviously should have 0:46:32.440 --> 0:46:34.640 been there this weekend alas I made the wrong choice 0:46:34.680 --> 0:46:38.520 and went to Queensland, that's my fault. But at the 0:46:38.520 --> 0:46:41.120 start of this year, right you'd come off the title, 0:46:41.600 --> 0:46:43.320 there was all this drama and garbage and all the 0:46:43.320 --> 0:46:44.480 rest of it. I'm not going to try to go 0:46:44.520 --> 0:46:48.680 through that, but I remember us sitting there talking about, okay, 0:46:48.800 --> 0:46:50.960 all right, you know here we are in the number 0:46:50.960 --> 0:46:53.640 one garage. That was last year, but who knew what 0:46:53.680 --> 0:46:55.839 the year was going to hold. And that was at 0:46:55.920 --> 0:46:58.640 Bathist and then again to see that the next time 0:46:58.680 --> 0:47:01.320 you come back to Bathist you walk out his champion. 0:47:02.719 --> 0:47:07.000 The pressure that you must put on yourself to maintain success, 0:47:07.680 --> 0:47:11.880 but I'd imagine trying to return to success would be 0:47:11.960 --> 0:47:13.239 even harder, isn't it. 0:47:14.360 --> 0:47:18.319 Well, well, yes it is. But Arebis is very well 0:47:18.360 --> 0:47:22.160 known for fighting and we love to be the underdog. 0:47:22.239 --> 0:47:24.560 We love to be to do the hunting, not being 0:47:24.640 --> 0:47:29.319 the hunted. And when we were thrown right back on 0:47:29.360 --> 0:47:32.440 the grid, all the way back down the bottom, it 0:47:32.560 --> 0:47:35.480 was like, okay, fine, we're down here, this is Bathurst. 0:47:35.520 --> 0:47:36.040 We're going to win. 0:47:36.080 --> 0:47:37.680 It doesn't matter what garage we're in. 0:47:38.160 --> 0:47:38.560 And. 0:47:40.360 --> 0:47:45.239 We we just have this this this urge to win 0:47:45.360 --> 0:47:47.719 when we're when we're down. And I think they did 0:47:47.760 --> 0:47:49.840 as a favor by putting us down the back because 0:47:50.239 --> 0:47:54.000 the urge to fight and win and to be perfect 0:47:54.239 --> 0:47:55.560 was so strong. 0:47:55.920 --> 0:47:58.120 Yeah, bloody oath, bloody oath. Now I've got to say 0:47:58.360 --> 0:48:03.239 before I let you go, thank you for constantly backing 0:48:03.840 --> 0:48:07.160 that traditional Australia that we talk about every night, that 0:48:07.200 --> 0:48:09.200 you know I believe in, you believe in and I 0:48:09.239 --> 0:48:12.200 love that the Army logos on the car, the Australian 0:48:12.200 --> 0:48:15.520 flag is on the car. You are somebody. I've seen 0:48:15.520 --> 0:48:17.120 it with my own eyes and in fact, I think 0:48:17.160 --> 0:48:19.759 you've even tisted me once when I wasn't standing to 0:48:19.800 --> 0:48:23.400 attention appropriately during the national anthem. How important is it 0:48:23.480 --> 0:48:25.560 that you have all of that that comes with this 0:48:25.640 --> 0:48:29.320 sporting team as well? Very important? 0:48:29.600 --> 0:48:31.520 You know I've been known to you at my crew 0:48:31.600 --> 0:48:34.840 they know if they're wearing a helmet, visor up, head down. 0:48:35.000 --> 0:48:38.880 And you know, Australia means a lot to me because 0:48:38.920 --> 0:48:42.839 of what it gave to my father and it saved him. 0:48:43.040 --> 0:48:47.560 He came from a wartorn Europe and everything that they 0:48:47.600 --> 0:48:48.040 gave him. 0:48:48.360 --> 0:48:52.360 I need to carry on that. Thanks, well, We're glad 0:48:52.360 --> 0:48:55.160 that you do. Congratulations Betty. I can't wait to give 0:48:55.160 --> 0:48:56.719 you a hug if you're on the goal. 0:48:56.840 --> 0:48:57.600 It'll be there. 0:48:57.840 --> 0:48:59.960 If not, we'll find you in Adelaide. Otherwise, I'll just 0:49:00.040 --> 0:49:02.600 find a way. Go check go go, Darlan 0:49:07.880 --> 0:49:07.920 H.
